First published in 1964, "The Easter Rebellion" quickly established itself as the outstanding narrative history of the 1916 Rising in Ireland. It is a thoroughly researched and wel l-written account of the events of the fateful week, and provides an objective and exciting appraisal of what was perhaps the most decisive week in the making of modern Ireland. The narrative unfolds as a vivid and explosive drama, building up a picture which, while immensely detailed, is nonetheless presented with the greatest clarity. Historical figures are wonderfully personified, revealing a plotting and fighting mixture of realists and idealists., ISBN13: 9781570980428 ISBN10: 157098042X Material Type: paperback Show more
